Alberta's new electricity market is a further blow to renewables and could increase power bills. All of the uncertainty created by the government and the new market reforms have also put a chill on investment. We break it down. thenarwhal.ca/alberta-rest... #ableg #cdnpoli

Bill C-2 is anti-privacy, anti-rights, and anti-Canadian! We need your voice to stop it. ✊ Tell our leaders to scrap this dangerous bill NOW! #StopBillC2 @OpenMediaOrg openmedia.org/Stop-BillC2-bsky

It is incredibly instructive (imho) that the ATA, which is a fairly simple, straight-forward union - everyone is a teacher - is having such a difficult time with the government of Alberta AND they are sticking to their guns about it.

Sorry if thread is broken, it's still chaotic out here. A lot more gas, it's awful, can't see that well. ICE just tackled and arrested two protesters.

Utah’s dentistry board urged the state to revoke Nicholas LaFeber’s license after repeated reports of poor dental work. Instead, regulators reinstated it. Now new patients say they’ve been hurt by his practice. Read @jessicamiller.bsky.social latest investigation for @propublica.org + @sltrib.com

Our inability to deal with White womens entitlement and racism is going to destroy democracy .

Also, if you want a really cool book on how we know what we know about bird migration, including the recent radar stuff, you absolutely should pick up Rebecca Heisman’s book Flight Paths. #brds #fall #migration

Nothing reminds you that "governments don't build housing" in 2025, like watching it slowly tear down the housing that governments built, in 1969. 🧵 #Jamesville #HamOnt #Neoliberalism

The PPP development was a mess, made worse by CN's (Bill Gates & BlackRock) appeal blocking progress. Another example that could easily fit within @nolore.bsky.social's latest book. A public CN would certainly have electrified its urban shunting yards and definitely not blocked affordable housing.

Water shortages are a major outcome of climate change in Alberta. So, short sighted Danielle Smith and the UCP want to take water from the public for U.S. corporations. #abpoli #cdnpoli #canada shorturl.at/jFtla

Carney is growing the fossil fuel industry with his plans for a costly “carbon capture, utilization and storage” project in the Alberta tar sands. This is stupid, deceitful and does NOTHING to reduce carbon emission or stop our approaching climate disaster. #cdnpoli #canada shorturl.at/ZpSu7

Skipping Stone & TransAction Alberta are fighting a battle for the rights and personal freedoms of everyone in Alberta. The government's overriding the Charter of Rights and Freedoms affects everyone in the province. If they get away with it here, who's next? Join the fight: transactionalberta.ca

A short video but a must see The UCP want to bring these data centers to Alberta But at what cost

It is not, nor was it ever, intended to be a "restructuring." It was always a dismantling.

I don't even want to know what we paid for this.... Bleeding out millions left and right.

Premier Smith's plan to use the notwithstanding clause to enforce her anti-trans bills endangers the rights and wellness of trans youth. If Alberta overrides the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, it will set a dangerous precedent for all Canadians IF you live in Alberta --> transactionalberta.ca

All this reporting on My Recovery Plan since 2023 helps sketch out the UCP's playbook for building new machinery of exploitation. Personal data, health, basic necessities and life itself are commodities to be sold to the highest bidder. 7/ albertaviews.ca/whats-wrong-...

Four years in, My Recovery Plan is simply being tossed aside, the government signalling that it wasn't evidence-based after all. Perhaps it got what it needed. People who are unhoused or who use drugs in Alberta already live in a surveillance state. We can't let that go unquestioned. 6/

The silver lining was that Indigenous-run recovery centres could see where My Recovery Plan was headed, and refused to implement it. They said it didn't safeguard data according to data sovereignty agreements and it didn't contain culturally safe material. 6/ www.aptnnews.ca/national-new...

The government had big plans for My Recovery Plan: shelters, prisons and even supervised consumption sites. The Alberta government was opening channels for private recovery operators to extract value from the most vulnerable members of society. 5/ drugdatadecoded.ca/private-reco...

My Recovery Plan was launched via sole-source contracts, then pushed on recovery centres, whose continued funding hinged on implementing it. Clients were later forced to upload their data to access services. The app broke every rule governing Informed Consent. 4/ drugdatadecoded.ca/coercion-at-...

Worse, the Province played fast and loose with personal health data uploaded to My Recovery Plan, including active drug use and medications. By allowing the app to run off an Amazon server (a *huge no-no* w/ health data), it was vulnerable to the US CLOUD Act. 3/ drugdatadecoded.ca/my-recovery-...

My story describes how the Alberta Recovery Model creates its own mythology by ensuring outcome & evaluation data are never made public. This pattern has persisted. My Recovery Plan, the private app 'tracking' outcome data, was just abandoned. 2/ drugdatadecoded.ca/province-to-...
